13:13 Stereo Imaging
What do we do with the stereo image? Do we place things in the center? On the sides? Or in the distance? And find out why it's much safer to use mono compatible techniques, as occasionally (sometimes for no logical reason) the video platforms sum to mono.

3:22 How to Persuade & Influence
In this video, learn how to better pitch music to video creators, by implementing principles from one of my favorite books: Influence, science and practice.
